    In my opinion, no. Ugly toning that will never look right, plus the reverse will never match. You can do better.

    I think its too high. Unless it has some special attribute attached to the coin that makes it worth that much, then nope. The toning doesn't look right. Looks like something square laid on top the coin.

    The seller's description states "end roll toning." I agree, end it forever. UGLY!

    Ah, it looks like it will grade, maybe MS65, tops. Maybe PL, I can't really tell from the fuzzy pictures. I think $325 on these fuzzy pictures is taking a chance on the high side.

    If the PCGS holder is legit, what is the seller trying to hide? Is it because it's a "Genuine" slab.......meaning AT?

    Ah, head-slap, I didn't even bother to read the description! Yeah, why are they withholding the verdict on it?
     
  9. I have seen this coin up close it is in a slab now pcgs i dont remember how it graded out. The paper fold on the roll caused the square spot. Thanks for the info. I may save my cash for a more even tone.

    OGH so no genuine they just body bagged them back then.

    Possible they are hiding grade because of premium being asked

    The toning is like an ugly child, only a mother could love.

    I think it's way overpriced...this is an '85 P right? You can BIN at MS64 in NGC slab for $80

    Fish4, first to link comparative prices to this dog. For phony toning, 4x retail. Keep looking, seller's dreaming.

    If so, why doesn't the seller show the insert? Is it an OGH because the seller says "an old green PCGS holder"? What is he hiding?
